抄録

According to a substantial literature, some living environmental factors are associated with an increased incidence of allergic diseases. However, the relationship between living environmental factors and allergic diseases is not so clear. We surveyed a general population samples aged all years (0 to 99) living in Saitama prefecture in Japan (n=7,395) to study the relationship. Multiple logistic regression analyses estimating independently the role of the various living environmental factors showed significant influence associated with rural area, near landfill sites, near industrial plants, structure of house, re-covering of wall papers, indoor pets, indoor molds e.g., for symptoms like some allergies or SBS. As the results, these analyses indicate a hypothesis that indoor air pollution induced by living environmental factors included ambient environments are possible influence of symptoms like some allergies or SBS.
